In the book a “Man Called Horse” it is similar to real life because sometimes you have to forget about how you feel and think about how others feel. One time when I was at school I saw my friend and she was having a bad day and since I was having a good day because I had gotten good grades in one of my classes. My friend was upset for a couple of weeks and since she had only told me what was wrong then I had to help her. While I was helping her I was so concerned about how she was and if she was ok that my grades started slipping and I kept talking to her that I would forget to do my homework. Pride is valuable when your team wins a game or when someone gets married in your family or when something good happens to your friends. You can lose pride when someone in your family dies or when something bad happens at school.
When I played park baseball two years ago we played with the older kids and it was my first time not playing on my friends’ dads team. I was used to pitching and playing shortstop. Because I was good at outfield I was put there all year. I was mad all year because it wasn’t an important position and I was better than everyone in the infield. I was proud of being a good baseball player and it kept me from enjoying the season. Pride is useful because if you take pride in something you will do your best. Your pride can get in the way when something isn’t going your way or you do something because of your pride
Once upon a time I had a major problem with pride. Still do. I was in second grade; I was playing in the Upward Basketball League. I had pride…a lot of pride, especially when I got a bible verse correct and got a star on my ummm…uniform. I don’t know what exactly made me so prideful of my stars, but it nearly got me taken out of a game. After that I started patting people on the back when they, made a score.
I dont take pride for much but on some things i do. like being my self. Only on somthings not like im the best or somthing like that. One person is like a diva. Ummm… Go Red Sox.
Im Camerone Robinson I all was say, that because I have high ambitions for myself. I think all was the best I dont care who you are. For some reason when guest come in talking about what you going be when you get older and think about some after sports. I all was think what they know im going pro like everyone else that have. One day I was at weight lifting class and coach says Camerone you going never go no were with that attitude because I got bored lifting all that weight everyday so I start lifting 10 pounds and about 5 pounds and suppose to lift 145. So I said forget this class switch me out because no more going amount into anything, because im Camerone Robinson the next person to go pro.
